torlink, curated torrents straight from your terminal

torlink is a torrent finder that lives in your terminal, with zero setup and nothing to configure. One search checks a short, curated list of reputable sources at once, and whatever you pick downloads straight to your computer. The files are yours, saved to your downloads folder.

Get started

  1. Install Node (from nodejs.org), it's all torlink needs.

  2. Open your terminal.

  3. Start it:

    npx torlnk

That's the only thing you'll type. torlink opens straight to a search bar: search for what you want, paste in a magnet link, or just press Enter on an empty box to browse the curated library. From there it's all keypresses, nothing to memorize, and ? brings up the full list anytime.

Finding something

Type what you're looking for and press Enter. Results stream in from every source as they answer, tagged with size and how many people are sharing each one, so you can see what'll come down fast. Arrow to what you want and press d to save it.

Your downloads

Active downloads sit up top with their progress, speed, and time left; when one finishes it drops into Recently downloaded just below, so the list stays tidy. Everything's still there when you come back, and anything interrupted picks up where it left off.

Downloads run in the background while you keep searching, so you can queue up as many as you want. They save to your downloads folder, and the Downloads pane keeps tabs on each one. When something finishes it keeps seeding automatically so the next person can find it too, and the Seeding tab lets you pause or stop that anytime.

What it searches

A short, hand-picked list of trusted sources:

Category Sources
Games FitGirl
Movies YTS, The Pirate Bay, 1337x
TV EZTV, SolidTorrents, The Pirate Bay, 1337x
Anime Nyaa, SubsPlease

Games are the only category that can run code, so they come from FitGirl alone, a repacker with a long, trusted track record; everything else is plain video and subtitles. If a source is down, the search carries on without it, and torlink tells you which one is offline.

Local Development

To run or work on torlink locally:

  1. Clone the repository and open the folder.
  2. Install dependencies:
    npm install
  3. Run the development version:
    npm run dev
    Or build it and run the bundled version:
    npm run build
    npx torlnk

Privacy

Your files stay on your disk, and nothing routes through a central server; torlink only talks to the torrent network directly. Once a download finishes it keeps seeding by default, sharing it back so the next person can find it just as easily. The network only works because people pass things along, and even a few minutes makes a real difference. If you'd rather not, opt out anytime: open the Seeding tab, press p to pause or stop any item, and press it again to pick it back up. Always your call.
